Hi Alexander,
From it's help files, this may contain a clue as to which dependency is
falling down:
<quote>
Windows Reliability and Performance Monitor combines the functionality of
previous stand-alone tools including Performance Logs and Alerts (PLA),
Server Performance Advisor (SPA), and System Monitor. It provides a
graphical interface for the customization of Data Collector Sets and Event
Trace Sessions.
Windows Reliability and Performance Monitor consists of three monitoring
tools: Resource View, Performance Monitor, and Reliability Monitor. Data
collection and logging is performed using Data Collector Sets.
<end>
So those are the services that you need to make sure are either running, or
set to restart on failure.
